Betfair Golf Betting Review

Betfair is the global Number 2 online sports betting company, an innovator whose Exchange revolutionised the market and whose Sportsbook is becoming increasingly popular. That’s right, Betfair Sportsbook is now one of the leading bookmakers in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland who cover top flight golf in great detail, offering regular value-adds for golf punters.

A large number of Golf Betting System readers use Betfair as part of their bookmaker portfolio – here’s what some of them had to say about Betfair with a specific slant on their golf betting odds, promotions and overall offering.

“The one obvious bonus with Betfair Sportsbook is the Cash Out option available on its golf markets, especially if you’re not up to speed with laying bets on the exchange. Generally I don’t find Betfair have the top prices so I rarely use their Sportsbook, but I would always recommend an account so there is always the option of using the exchange (it’s quite easy once you get used to it!) should you need it. I can’t score the Sportsbook too highly given the prices, but on the whole it’s a good website.” Reviewed by TB. Rating: 3/5 (Sportsbook)

“Difficult to fault the exchange as it’s obviously the best out there. The odds on some players are huge compared to the normal bookmakers and you often see a player who’s 100/1 trading at 200 or 300 on Betfair. The liquidity on some of the extra markets isn’t great sometimes but on the overall winner it’s usually fine. I’ve used the sportsbook a couple of times too when there’s been extra places available and it seemed pretty good to me.” Reviewed by MW. Rating: 5/5 (Exchange), 4/5 (Sportsbook)

“Betfair – very good, exchanges are great, haven’t tried the sportsbook much so not sure if free bets are available or money back promotions, will be trying a few other bookies to compare.” Reviewed by AS. Rating: 5/5 (Exchange), 2/5 (Sportsbook)

“I’ve started placing more and more of my bets with Betfair. They go 7 places each-way on the PGA Tour most weeks, but I use them more and more for football as well, as their odds always seem ridiculously good.” Reviewed by DW . Rating: 5/5 (Sportsbook)

“The exchange offers most value than any other company in my opinion. Very good odds and odds out quickly usually on the Sunday beforehand. In terms of golf, the sportsbook lets the site down. Odds not as good as other sites and price usually doesn’t compete with other bookmakers.” Reviewed by JK. Rating: 5/5 (Exchange), 3/5 (Sportsbook)

Overall Rating 4/5 (8 reviews)

Betfair Sportsbook Golf Betting Coverage

Betfair Sportsbook covers every Major Championship, PGA Tour and European Tour golf tournament across the season. Sharing their odds-compiler team with Paddy Power, markets are out smartly on a Monday. Additional each-way places are now a regular weekly feature and their depth of additional markets such as Tournament Match Bets and Group Betting puts most of the competition firmly in the shade.

Another huge advantage of using Betfair Sportsbook for golf bets is their Cash Out facility where you can close a bet during the tournament. This facility actually gives punters the opportunity to effectively trade during the action, but instead of using the Betfair Exchange, prices to close your bet are offered by the bookmaker. Alternatively of course being a Betfair member allows you to easily lay-off bets on the Exchange from the same wallet or from bets you placed with another online bookmaker.

Punters used to fixed odds punting can often find laying a bet on Betfair exchange intimidating, so Cash Out makes it easy to close bets simply with 2 clicks. You can use Cash Out to access a popular way of making profit on golf, namely backing long-shots or fast starters pre-event and then locking in profit as their odds shorten during the tournament. In that way it’s more than possible to make a profit when a selection doesn’t even win or place, they just have to be in contention as the tournament develops.

The Paddy Power effect can be seen now with Betfair Sportsbook in full effect. During the opening period of 2017, Betfair Sportsbook were offering the standard 5 places each-way at 1/4 odds the place, but in the middle of the year that changes to emulate Paddy Power. By the close of 2017 Betfair Sportsbook had offered 47 additional spots, placing them behind only Paddy Power and Coral.

Typical sportsbook markets: Overall Winner, Top 5, Top 10, Top 20, 1st Round Leader, Daily 2/3 Balls, Group Betting, Big Guns vs the Field, Tournament Match Bets, Top American/European/Rest of the World/ Asian.

With Betfair Sportsbook not only do you get extended each-way places, but they also offer excellent odds across the European and PGA Tours. Betfair Sportsbook do not punish the punter for taking additional places, instead they are often market leading or joint market-leading in terms of price. And their golf trading team are not opposed to having their own views on odds. In position quickly on a Monday with their Outright markets, you can always find attractive players at great prices, with additional spots, all paid at 1/5 odds for the place.

Betfair Golf Each-Way Places

Betfair Sportsbook have run some terrific extended each-way offers across the Major Championships since their inception. That is now solidified into the fact that they offer market-leading places every week across the European Tour and PGA Tour, not just at that Major Championships. The Majors always offer a huge opportunity to snare outsiders who place at triple-digits and having the luxury of 7 or 8 places each-way at 1/5 odds for the place is an absolute no-brainer. So a Betfair Sportsbook account is well worthwhile for each-way punters.
